If you want to go back to the 70s … this is the pc

This place was so outdated!! We felt like we went back in time to the 70s! TV didn’t work and there was no WiFi or phone service. Thank the Lord we were just there for 1 night. The grounds are beautiful but the place itself needs major renovation.
